We were therefore looking for <strong>a private carrier<\/strong> that can drive us during 3 very specific moments of our trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found a supplier on the <strong>Web<\/strong> who could guarantee us the 3 rides on board a minivan-limousine. We agree on a price, then <strong>the supplier asks me to pay it in full in advance <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Paypal\" href=\"\/go\/paypal\/\">via Paypal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pay for it <strong>using my CIBC VISA Aeroplan credit card<\/strong> <strong>linked to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/go\/paypal\/\">my Paypal account<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first two rides went as planned and we were very satisfied with the service provided. But everything went wrong during the 3rd ride, the most important for us since it had to bring us back to the airport, 90 minutes from where we were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We searched for our carrier&#8230; to no avail. &#8220;Panic&#8221; among the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/minibus-1651031_960_720.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/minibus-1651031_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"minibus 1651031 960 720\" class=\"wp-image-24229\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Our driver must have gotten lost&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We finally spoke with the carrier who told us that the driver was on his way.

Of course, we paid the full price for this trip on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in Montreal, <strong>I took the necessary steps with the transportation provider to get compensation and reimbursement for the transportation that he did not provide us with<\/strong>. He asked me to send him a Paypal payment request, to wait until September for tax reasons &#8230; In short, I realize after a while that I&#8217;m being taken for a ride and that he has no intention to refund me.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__notice component__notice--info wp-block-milesgutenberg-notice\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-info-circle\"><\/i>\n\t\t<div class=\"component__notice__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>Before taking any steps with your credit card provider, try to speak with merchant!
